Hello! I am working on some TC/SE questions but could not get the 2nd answer for this problem. I was able to get the first blank using the math strategy. How i tackled it:
Determine idea 1 and idea 2 if supporting or contrasting. I realized they were supporting because of “because” and the - lines. I got the first blank from “people quickly become bored” and “instant”. This made me make up my own word, “fleeting” which perfectly matched with blank 1.
However, blank 2 I made up the word “flair”. because of this part from the text: “no stage, no interesting books, no heroic exploits…” But… I could not match flair to any of the answer choices. Then, I ultimately settled on competing “attraction” because I connected attraction and flair together in my mind, despite not being synonyms…how would I get to correct answer in this?
This is from practice set 3:Hard from the official gre verbal reasoning book, vol 1 second edition on page 63. It is question number 4.
